Elara

(Ἐλάρα) - A mortal princess of Orchomenus, daughter of King Orchomenus (or Minyas) in central Greece. When she became pregnant by Zeus, the king of the gods desperately feared the fierce jealousy of Hera. To protect her, Zeus hid Elara deep underground within the womb of the earth itself. Hidden below, she gave birth to the massive giant Tityos; because of this subterranean birth, Tityos was often called a son of Gaia (Earth). Today, her legacy is preserved as the namesake for one of the moons of Jupiter.
